High: Looks like we are set to emigrate in August
Low: a lot depends on Home affairs doing their job

So long and so short

High: finally started treatment for my H-Pylori infection (apparently a common gut bacteria that usually doesn't cause symptoms, but I've been having weird stomach issues for the last few months.) Got diagnosed via gastroscopy. Treatment involves taking x2 antibiotics and an acid reflux suppressant every day for 2 weeks. Hopefully this sorts it out.

High: the gastroscopy happened yesterday. Was nervous as hell, but it went fine. The sedation was great. Where can I get more of that stuff?!

High: Tickets bought for 10 Septmber! Woot Woot!
Low: SO. Much. WOrk.
Low: Selling my stuff is a drag. Anybody need a Wacom Cintiq Companion Hybrid?
High: trolololo We are out of here!

High: Been about 6 month here in Mauritius. Cannot describe how much better life here is. You guys need to look at getting out of SA. Not having the constant fear of crime hanging over you is life changing.
Low-ish: new job is very different. Going from IT technician at a medical university to being a butcher is a bit of a jump
Not much time for gaming and stuff

High - My dad came to visit last week, was nice to have him over, says it's very peaceful where we are haha, nice and quiet.

Extra High - Will see him again next month when we fly over for my brothers wedding.

Low - Have to fly to Scotland next week for a work event, meh for having to leave the house.

High - My mom has been visiting us. The best time of year for it. Lots of awesome stuff planned including walks in the woods near our village.

High 2 - I've enrolled back in uni, progress continues towards qualifying as a shrink

High 3 - Going to Netherlands (again) in September, Spain in October, Greece next May.

Low - Getting tired of AI everything. Luckily I touch grass more often than not

Low 2 - Aphids on my roses, luckily they haven't really done any damage

High - May was such a good month. London Comic Con was SO fun. So good to attend a con where there's actual crowd management and space to move and it doesn't stink. Proper air conditioning, etc. Nathan Fillion and Alan Tudyk were there, but sadly I didn't manage to book a signing. It was cool just knowing they were in the same room. I got some fun items from Artist's Alley (support human artists!) and was blown away by the INCREDIBLE cosplay.
A couple days after that I flew to Greece and spent a week on an island. Such an amazing trip. I can't wait to go back. I was on one of the lesser known islands, so barely any tourists. And not a single American chain anywhere - no McDonalds or KFC or Burger King. Just 100% independent businesses.

Low - Moving house in 2.5 weeks. Luckily staying in the same village, which is very important to me. But yeah, always a mission to move.
